The government will focus on extending 4G coverage to all Orang Asli villages next year, alongside efforts to improve internet connectivity along 7,000km of roads and 1,700km of railway lines, Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
Anwar said the JENDELA project, backed by RM5 billion in investment, had provided Wi-Fi coverage at all public university campuses and 4G coverage at all FELDA settlements.
The government will also implement the MADANI Submarine Cable (SALAM) initiative to further strengthen the country’s internet connectivity.
